The Rules of Another Small World | M. Ostermeier | Tench Recordings

I recently licensed a few photographs to Tench Recordings for the latest CD release by M. Ostermeier “The Rules of Another Small World”. I received a few copies of the CD in the mail last week, which you can see in the quick snap above. The music is best described as otherworldly – minimalist soundscapes that combine elements of modern classical, jazz, ambient and lounge genres. If that’s your thing, then by all means check out the Tench recordings webpage or visit M. Ostermeier’s Facebook page. You can hear samples of the tracks at both locations. The CD will ship on May 10th with pre-orders going out on April 26th.

Robert Knight is one of the most respected and widely published photographers in the music industry. From being one of the first to photograph Jimi Hendrix and Led Zeppelin’s first US show to the last to photograph Stevie Ray Vaughan, he’s covered some of the great musicians of the past 40+ years. He is known for only shooting artists whose music he connects with, and there have been a number of big-name acts he’s turned down because he wasn’t into. You could say that if there’s no connection between photographer and subject then it’s not a photograph, it’s a photocopy.

Nightclub Photography

Clubbers in a Taipei nightclub.

Nightclub photography offers a series of challenges to the photographer but the rewards when successful images are created are worth it. When I was doing a lot of music photography, I occasionally ventured into the realm of nightclub photography but staying out until 4 or 5am on a regular basis is something that doesn’t interest me any more. Being the only sober person in a club at a time when most people are usually asleep takes a special kind of patience.

Before we get into it, I want to remind you about Selina Maitreya’s The View From Here. Selina brings 3 decades of portfolio consultancy experience and wisdom to this MP3 series that’s a must-have for anyone either contemplating becoming a working photographer or professionals looking for a little extra inspiration. Normally $199, it’s available at a 50% discount using the code FOSCFI.
